Configurator is live now.
Cant see it, is this on the UK site?https://www.mercedes-benz.co.uk/passengercars/cont...

It's really tucked away, doesn't appear under the AMG filter, you have to go via the regular models and click on new C-class.

Don't know about the rest of you, but it's getting expensive for me.
I’m with you, I really want the facelift but the best I’ve been offered on my 85k spec is 81k. It’s hard to ignore that I could just buy a similar spec pre facelift 2018 car for 20k less...I think jon-yprpe earlier in this thread is on a winner with his 24% discount on a pre facelift.
I can’t see these holding value well and surely it’s only a matter of time before they have to start heavily discounting the new model to get them selling. I just can’t see many people having the appetite to deal at this price.
I went to look at pre-facelift C63's yesterday. Initially I was interested in the saloon (need boot space) but the Coupé isn't as small as I had expected it to be. Hoping to get to drive one next week at some point.
Is there any essential spec you need on these for re-sale?
I was looking at Selenite Grey, Apple Car-Play, Night Pack and the interior carbon fibre pack. Undecided on wheels - would like the 19/20 staggered but seems a bit costly!
Haven't decided facelift vs pre-facelift. Most of the deals I've had on Car-wow on brand new cars are roughly the same price as lightly used examples so I think I'd go new.

Have you been offered money off a brand new one already? I suppose I automatically assumed there'd be no wiggle room given supposed popularity but as mentioned I can't see these shifting too quickly. Residuals on the old W204s were pretty good (I'm considering going back for my 3rd!) but £80k+ for a car that's going lose maybe 40% of that in 3 years is quite hard to stomach.I think jon-yprpe earlier in this thread is on a winner with his 24% discount on a pre facelift.

Excellent, what kind of discount did you manage to get?
I was aiming for 13% as this seems to be the current discounts offered on C43's and E63's through carwow. Unfortunately dealers are not pricing the C63 through carwow at present (although I'm sure it wont be long) so I did the deal at 10%
Are you going to order one tgclowes?

I assumed those deals were for old stock that dealers are trying to shift.Unfortunately dealers are not pricing the C63 through carwow at present (although I'm sure it wont be long) so I did the deal at 10%

I'd like to but I wanted to nail my spec down and get a better idea on figures, as above it's becoming a very expensive C class so it has to be right!
When's yours due?

I don't have any tracking info yet but I was told production starts early September and should see the car late October / early November I'd like to but I wanted to nail my spec down and get a better idea on figures, as above it's becoming a very expensive C class so it has to be right!
